Does marketshare matter? It depends. Yes, if 1) there are a lot of dependencies (compatibility issues) in the hardware/software stack now and/or in the future. Upgrades count. 2) There are a lot of costs associated with switching to a different option, if things don’t go well. 3) The long term viability of the platform, including upgrades and bug fixes. 4) Support requires specialized knowledge…who is going to support it, if the current gurus leave? Can you hire a consultant, get training or buy books? 6) Does it introduce change to the end-users? Change is a very bad thing, if you want to keep costs down and productivity up within a mature organization/process/market. The true costs are almost never fully recognized. Nor is it something bloggers and geek-zealots care about.
